Delimiter Property  
 

Returns the hierarchical path delimiter used for the current mailbox.

Syntax

object.Delimiter

Remarks

The Delimiter property returns a string which specifies the path delimiter used for the current mailbox. If the IMAP server supports multiple levels of mailboxes, then a special character or sequence of characters are used as delimiters between different levels of the mailbox hierarchy. On most systems, including most UNIX and Windows platforms, the delimiter is the forward slash "/" character.

It is possible that an IMAP server may only support a flat namespace, in which case this property will return an empty string.
